10 Miami Dolphins who need to have a big year

Albert is expensive, injury-prone and old, which is a bad combination for any NFL player. It doesn’t help matter that Miami already has the left tackle’s replacement, Laremy Tunsil, on the roster. Albert, who is 31, will need another Pro Bowl-caliber season to ensure that the Dolphins honor his $8.9 million salary in 2017. When he’s healthy, he’s dominant, but that hasn’t been often during his eight-year career.

Landry has spent the past two years setting an NFL record for receptions in a player’s first two seasons (194), and establishing himself as one of the NFL’s better slot receivers. Another stellar year could put him in the $10-million-a-season salary range on a renegotiated deal. To secure the $20-plus million in guaranteed money he likely seeks, this former LSU standout must score more receiving touchdowns.
